The Arma Christi or Weapons of Christ is a baroque title for the Instruments of the Passion. Miniatures of these objects were attached to rosaries and crucifixes, or drawn as aids to contemplation of the price Jesus paid for our sins. To those who had renounced the "weapons of this world" (2 Cor 10:4), the Arma Christi were a great consolation and a weapon against temptation.
